On February 15, Mr. To Hong Chung - a worker who used to work at Phuc Hung Mechanical and Electrical Joint Stock Company happily called Lao Dong Newspaper: "Some workers who are owed wages have been paid part of their salaries by the company, sir. So, brothers have some money to spend for this Tet holiday.
According to statistics from Mr. To Hong Chung, as of 1:45 PM on February 14th, 17 people have been paid salaries; some workers have not yet been paid. "Brothers have also called D.A (old accountant) and received information that the company is still processing to transfer money, sir. Therefore, this list is also being updated," Mr. To Hong Chung said.
According to the statistical list self-compiled by Mr. To Hong Chung, the person paid the lowest salary is more than 6 million VND; the person paid the highest is more than 21.6 million VND.
However, Mr. To Hong Chung reflected that the amount of money workers received was not clearly stated for which month the salary was paid.
Mr. To Hong Chung thanked Lao Dong Newspaper reporters for joining in contributing to helping workers receive their salaries, even if not fully, before Tet. Although happy to receive a portion of their salaries, Mr. To Hong Chung as well as many other workers are not satisfied with the company's method of paying arrears. According to him, the company's salary payment messages have unclear content, making it very difficult for workers to follow.
As employees, we want the company to pay the entire salary that the company owes us, resolve it thoroughly, resolve it soon, and have clear content for easy monitoring," said Mr. To Hong Chung.
Previously, as Lao Dong Newspaper published in many articles, many workers who used to work at Phuc Hung Mechanical and Electrical Joint Stock Company (the company) sent petitions to the Newspaper reflecting that they were owed salaries with a total amount of more than 1.4 billion VND.
To have objective information about this case, before that, Lao Dong Newspaper reporters called and texted Mr. Cao Van Lam - Director of the company but did not receive a response.
When contacting Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Duong - Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors, both times, although the appointment was agreed upon, Mr. Duong did not appear at the office as scheduled to work with Lao Dong Newspaper reporters.
Most recently, on February 2, a reporter from Lao Dong Newspaper called to continue asking for information about the incident, but Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Duong did not answer the phone. When the reporter texted Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Duong asking about the roadmap for paying salaries to workers before Tet, was there any? Mr. Duong texted back with the content "still waiting for sources from investors to come for handling, brother".
